A tangentially related note regarding this area of the code base: As
mentioned at least once in code comments, we should probably eventually
begin phasing out the existing face names in favor of ones that abide by
Emacs naming conventions:

- Like all identifiers, they should be properly namespaced, so no
  leading "fg:" and "bg:"

- They should _not_ end in "-face" (info "(elisp) Defining Faces")

I don't really have the bandwidth for dealing with this anytime soon,
even though it's a relatively straightforward, mostly mechanical change.
Just thought I'd note it here for the record in case someone reading
this takes a fancy.
